As you can tell from the odds above, the Philippines national team faces tough competition, and their odds of winning the tournament could be better. However, if they pull off a miracle, a winning bet would payout $25,000 on a $100 bet.
The only team who doesn’t have lucrative odds is the United States, which has won two of the last four competitions. Spain is the current Champions after upsetting Argentina in 2019 (95-75).
